  1. Windows hosts file not resolving anymore?


    Hi,


    I am systems and web admin, beside others, and I am using Windows and Linux hosts file as a so called "Split DNS" workaround for dozens of years. For example, I setup new Web site and for testing purposes, before it goes life, I target new location with hosts file, so only I can see new web site, while others still use old one.


    But lately on my Windows 10 Pro 1903 machine seems like entries in hosts file do not have effect anymore.

    Is there some new change on Windows, some update, which disabled hosts file?

    :)

  2. Hosts file editing

    I have to jump in and say I use, and have used the host file for years. It's an easy way to take stress off of old name servers. I don't add everything, but major shares I do add to the host file. I've used the host file for some tunneling as well. I try to optimize my network as much as possible and I have a solid network. But Easy Rhino is right as well, you'll want to have everything he suggested as well. *Toast :toast:

    Resolving Host - Chrome + Windows 10

    My experience :

    Chrome + Windows 10 = endlessly resolving host.

    Firefox + Windows 10 = zero resolving host issues.

    I guess I wills stick with Firefox, but it would be nice to get Chrome working properly with W10. I have tried just about every suggestion that I have found on the web, but no luck. Anyone want to offer an idea.

    Thx.
